I'm wondering if any of our Seattle-area Kossacks can help find a good lawyer who would be willing to at least consider taking a case for highly reduced fees or even pro bono. This is for my brother-in-law and his partner, who are being sued by the management company of their condo over some water leaks that caused damage to several units in the building. My BIL believes that they are being railroaded on this, but they don't have the money to hire a lawyer or experts to prove that the leaks were not caused by any negligence on their part. So they fear they are in real danger of losing their home and not even getting to sell it and keep what equity they have.
Both of these guys are dealing with health issues that have prevented them from working much for the last couple of years, and they are living on a shoestring as it is. And fwiw, in the past several years they have said repeatedly to us that the management company doesn't like them because they are gay. Not at all sure that's provable, but it does seem true that they get a lot of grief from that company.
If anyone has a contact or reference for them, please kosmail me. I know I don't write much here, and I'm sorry to make one of my few diaries a plea for help. But it is what it is. Thanks in advance for any help and advice!
